Cannot Create /var/lib/dhcp3/dhclient.leases Permission Denied

Just starting out and have a question? Aurel Schwarzentruber (zed-balcab) wrote on 2006-04-18: #2 I saw the same messages, these are caused by starting dhcp3 twice or more. For the record: Bug was first mentioned 2 years and (neatly) 4 months ago now.

Details: I know the .107 address was the one used on the first network and subsequently was being attempted to be used by dhclient on the server because the MAC address As a workaround, if we make the file attribute changes in #25, is this the only thing that needs to be done? Must I open a new bug-report? However, the upstart job needed to be adjusted to have this instead: ... # The leases files need to be root:dhcpd for dropping privileges [ -e /var/lib/dhcp/dhcpd.leases ] || touch /var/lib/dhcp/dhcpd.leases

Any thoughts? I typed in the command also you placed underneath. Changed in isc-dhcp (Ubuntu): status: New → Confirmed Michael Bienia (geser) wrote on 2013-08-07: #2 The problem is how dhcpd's implements privilege seperation. May 08 09:43:04 here systemd[1]: isc-dhcp-server.service lacks both ExecStart= and ExecStop= setting.

It should also set the extended file attributes as mentioned earlier. https://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=68620&p=500364 The issue is that the dhcp3-client is pointing to a directory that doesn't exist (or hasn't been created by the installation)or that the original ifup command is wrong.

I'll try Rob Traders's fix, but I'm very surprise that Ubuntu leave non fixed such a bug for two years !!

Can anyone who is seeing it reproduce from a from-scratch install?

The systemd unit in 16.04 also includes a 'chown' command to ensure the right ownership of the leases file, so there should be no need for any dac override.

Seems pretty essential to have a working DHCP server in an LTS release.
